[QUOTE="Ezekiel2517, post: 405544, member: 18494"] These photos show how I modified my clamp on seat bases. I don't know the bench sizes on other brands of jon boat, but the trackers are to large for the clamp on seat mounts. I used 2 Coupling Nuts to add a length of all thread to make the clamp open larger. My knees prevent me from just standing up at will, I need a little height to make it easier. 4 more Coupling Nuts allowed me to add 1 1/2 inches to the height of my seat. that plus a flotation cushion gives me about 3 1/2 more inches in height. The clamp on seats will shift if your not always facing forward. I solved that by using some 3/8 wire clamps, I just used small SS screws tightened lightly to prevent shifting. I showed only one picture, but I screwed down both sides. The black and red wires are for my motor to reach my battery. Waiting on my nephew to swing by to give me a hand moving my motor from the spare bedroom outside. That's my goal for tomorrow. I hope you all have good a weekend. [/QUOTE]
